This unique private exclusive city tour will give guests a greater appreciation of the life, food, drinks, and culture of the Bahamas. The guest will be able to explore the rich history of the island of New Providence while traveling through some of Nassau's indigenous villages, such as "Fox Hill Village." Guests will be able to sample some of the island's unique foods and drinks as we visit the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory, The Chocolate Factory, the John Watling Distillery, The New Duff, and the popular Nassau Fry Fry at Arawak Cay.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Fort Montagu
Constructed in 1741 of local limestone, Fort Montagu is the oldest fort still standing on the island of New Providence. It is at the eastern end of Nassau Harbour along the waterfront.
2. Government House
Government House, located on a 10 acre estate, stands on Mount Fitzwilliam and is the official residence of the Governor General of The Bahamas. It dates back to 1801 and this imposing pink and white building on Duke Street is an excellent example of the mingling of Bahamian British and American Colonial architecture. The graceful columns and broad, circular driveway recall the styles of Virginia and the Carolinas. In front of the building is the statue of Christopher Columbus. This statue was imported from London in 1830 by Governor James Carmichael Smythe in honor of Columbus Landfall at San Salvador in 1492.
3. The Bahamas Rum Cake Factory
The Bahamas Rum Cake Factory story begins in the heart of downtown Nassau, the Bahamas in the year 2000. George Bates, originally from the United Kingdom founded a recipe that would inspire his “Original” Rum Cake. Everyone loved his recipe so much that he decided to open a small Rum Cake shop, a store that has since then grown into the most favorite brand of Rum Cake in The Bahamas. Today, the Bahamas Rum Cake Factory still sits in the same location that it started out at, and has created a culture so irresistibly delicious that in 2014 it was recognized by the state as the Official Rum Cake of The Bahamas. Loaded with our top-secret ingredients, baked to perfection, and gently marinated in our signature brand of Ole Nassau Bahamian Rum, our cakes have become not just a dessert, but also an important part of a new lifestyle for both Bahamians and tourists.
4. Queen's Staircase
The Queen's Staircase, commonly referred to as the 66 steps, is a major landmark that is located in the Fort Fincastle Historic Complex in Nassau. It was hewn out of solid limestone rock by slaves between 1793 and 1794 and it is said that it provided a direct route from Fort Fincastle to Nassau City. These steps were later named in honor of Queen Victoria, who reigned in Britain for 64 years from 1837 to 1901.
5. Graycliff Chocolatier
Enjoy a tour of Graycliff Chocolatier, a tasty destination located at the Graycliff Hotel. Learn how cacao beans are processed to create delightful chocolate concoctions and create your own sweet masterpiece with ingredients like mango, lime, sweet-tomato basil, and bacon.
6. John Watling's Distillery
John Watling’s Distillery home to JOHN WATLING’S rum, the “Spirit of The Bahamas” is the next stop in our tours located in the Buena Vista Estate, in Downtown Nassau. The historic Estate, founded in 1789 and overlooking the harbor, is the site where Bahamians hand-craft JOHN WATLING’S small-batch rums.
7. Bay Street
Tasting and sampling at the New Duff, for every Bahamian, guava duff is synonymous with the word dessert. Ever since the first Bahamian guava duff was made, there have been countless reimaginings and methods to make this Bahamian treat. Reminiscent of the first duffs ever made by the strong hands of older Bahamian women in a post-slavery era, The New Duff captures the texture and taste of the original duff, boiled in a pillowcase and served with a silky and sweet guava-based sauce.
8. Arawak Cay
Arawak Cay offers the authentic atmosphere of the Bahamian Fish Fry with vendors selling made to order conch salad, fried fish and other Bahamian dishes. Arawak Cay was artificially built from the sand when the harbour was dredged in 1969. There is a police station, a storytelling porch for special events, an old Bahamian rock oven, an open stage and an open grassy area with seating for the audience where concerts and other productions are held. Sunday nights are when the majority of locals can be seen at Arawak Cay or Fish Fry as the locals would say.

Pinky made the tour so enjoyable. We felt comfortable and as if we were seeing the sights with a friend. Never felt rushed and enjoyed the stops. Highly recommend Pinky as a guide. Professional and kind. The van was spotless and comfortable. Our first Viator tour. Will do this again.

Pinky was an awesome tour guide! She is very friendly, outgoing, and incredibly knowledgeable. My gf does not like seafood, so Pinky made sure to get her jerk chicken. Everything tasted great!

Was traveling with my two kids (young adult and tween) and my 79 year old Mom.l so picked this tour because it offered a good mix of activities —a little history and sightseeing, a little drinking, and a good amount of eating— all while being driven around in an air conditioned van. When my daughter got something in her eye, Delano kindly swung by a pharmacy so we could get some eye drops. At the end, he dropped us (at our request) near the Straw market so we could shop before heading back to the ship. All in all, I felt like we got to see a lot of Nassau while learning about its history and sampling some tasty snacks. Since we don’t eat much shellfish, Delano substituted jerk chicken for our lunch which was delicious!

Outstanding! Best tour ever! Delano, our guide, was phenomenal. He was professional and personable. I felt like we were with an old, trusted friend. We experienced the culture and history and learned so much more than had we gone on our own. Delano patiently answered all our questions and unhurriedly showed us so many high points. We tasted lots of new foods and enjoyed sampling lots of beverages. I highly recommend this tour. I hope I'm lucky enough to return one day and do it again!

I would recommend this tour to anybody! Our tour guide, Delano, was everything we could have hoped for. He was professional, knowledgeable, highly courteous, and attended to us extremely well. I was very pleased that he was at our agreed upon pick-up spot on time, easy to locate, (holding a sign), which was helpful & appreciated.
Delano had, and shared much knowledge of the area and history of Nassau. He did a great job getting us to the highlighted spots on the tour. He also capably answered our questions. The foods, the beverages were all good. The experience left me feeling like we had a little taste of authentic Nassau culture. If you're seeking that experience, you won't be disappointed!

This tour was amazing. Our guide, Delano, was top notch. Delano arrived at our hotel 10 min early to pick us up and had our van clean and prepped for our tour. The tour started immediately with Delano providing us with the history of Paradise Island and Nassau. We went to all of the historical sites and had the most amazing drinks and food…especially the authentic conch fritters. A thousand times better than the conch fritters at our hotel. Delano made sure that we enjoyed every experience to its fullest. We never felt rushed. He also offered to take group photos of us in front of all the sites. Book this tour! Ask for Delano! 10 out of 10 stars!

It was wonderful to have such a knowledgable and personable tour guide. Having a taste of local cuisine was great, especially the conch fritters from just outside of Tasty Teas. A fun experience well worth it.
